1. IEEE-RAS New Initiatives--Proposals Due June 1!

May 23, 2007 Less than two weeks to submit RAS New Initiatives proposals !! (2nd CALL) As a result of a new IEEE policy that, for the first time, allows the Robotics and Automation Society to use some of the unspent funds from 2006 in 2007, we are able to consider funding a modest number of initiatives that would benefit society members in general, providing that the initiative can be completed and the funds spent in calendar 2007. Approximately $100,000 in total is available. We hope to be able to fund several initiatives.
